Pictures of credit card sized version
Please consider adding this as it sounds really awesome and I'm sure everyone would love to see it!
Do you mean the coin? Internet is full of pictures. Also, here's a promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJBZMUuhUrw
No I already own a coin. It's pretty cool although I haven't gotten the NFC feature to work yet.
There are mentions of parts for a smaller credit card sized version of MagSpoof in the readme and it sounded like @sammyk already built one, however it is not in the video or pictures. I just bought the parts for the larger version showed on the protoboard and plan on making the smaller version on a PCB once I have a prototype working.
I will put up a schematic and pics when I have a nicer version. Currently the difficult part is keeping the entire thing as thin as a traditional credit card (0.76mm). I'm trying various techniques of PCB etching but simply on thin copper layers, not on FR-4, and very small traces for the micro-sized UDFN and WQFN/WSON packaging.
Currently doing this all at home but open to suggestions/techniques or companies who can run small batches!
In terms of getting it thin enough, how close is the tech that large companies use? (Apple's lightning-cable video compression board comes to mind)
Coin is a good example. Their card is just as thin as a normal card and sports BLE, NFC, magstripe and lipo.
Would be nice to get a open source/hardware version rolling. Hate my wallet and that I always have the wrong cards with me.
send me ic's programmed i make you a thin prototypes card size or whatever size u want
well yeah contact me at frontbackuser at tuta .io

@deltamelta, really? Do you produce thin PCBs?

@samyk Maybe use copper wires that are connected in the same alignment as the mag stripes of a regular card, and find a different but small driver that can individually pulse an EM signal to a specific thread, such that it emulates an actual magstrip whilst keeping the form factor of a credit card?
